1. Satish Chandra Ghosh (since deceased) made an application under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act ('the MV Act') seeking an award for compensation for the injuries sustained by him in a motor vehicular accident, the injuries being, inter alia, multiple fracture of his right leg. The said injured died, on 18.12.2000, the death having, however, not been caused due to the injuries sustained by the said deceased in the accident aforementioned. On his death, the present petitioners, as legal representatives of the said deceased, sought for being substituted in place of the said deceased as claimants. On the ground that in the case of personal injury, no right to sue survives, the learned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, West Tripura, Agartala, passed an order, on 5.7.2001, rejecting the prayer made by the present petitioner for substitution. It is this order, which stands impugned in the present revision made under Section 115 of the Code of Civil Procedure read with Article 227 of the Constitution of India.

2. I have heard Mr. A.K. Bhowmik, learned senior counsel, appearing on behalf of the petitioners, and Mr. T.K. Dey, learned Counsel, appearing on behalf
